The title is a bit misleading. It was a tesla that was sold not a lambo  Tongue

It was a lomborghini dealership. Same way you can go to a Toyota dealership and buy a honda

Yes but hondas and toyotas are in the same league. Tesla's are nowhere near lambo's. Actually is an insult even mentioning lamborghini and that crappy electrical things in the same sentence.
Let's get educated

Electric cars are the future:

This person above with a super old 1970s car can go 0-60 in around 2 seconds, and that's with some crappy batteries and homebrew electric stuff.

When I see the video I think of this:


It feels good to know that your average random person can come up with something creative and intuitive. Also I have to deal with this everyday:



It's time people ride electric bikes when getting around. Most of the people in these cars are sitting solo, waste of gas, waste of space, makes traffic move slow, damage to the environment.

We just sold our very first vehicle with Bitcoin as legal tender!

legal tender???  I think not...

They just accepted bitcoin as acceptable "payment."

so if he purchased straight from BTC.. does that mean he doesn't have to pay his capital gains taxes?
I don't think anybody knows.

During the senate hearing, IRS said they were still "working on clarifications".

If you buy a raffle ticket for a car and win the car, you have the claim the car as income... wouldn't this be similar?

So you have two options I suppose, either one record the capital gains and then purchase your car.

Or say you spent X on something that earned you a car worth $XX,XXX and claim the $XX,XXX - $X as "other income."

Do whichever has the lower tax rate?

who cares the lambo, I want that crappy electrical thing

+1 for the Tesla.

Elon Musk should be taking his USD 5K Tesla deposits in BTC - for conversion to USD at purchase/delivery time. He'd get more than a few takers on that.

In a few years everyone will be amazed that he spent enough bitcoin on a Tesla Model S to buy a G6  (Gulfstream, not Pontiac).  Cheesy

That Tesla sure is nice looking. Quite funny the news came just now, as I was watching a documentary about electric cars and how close Tesla was to going bankrupt.
